Plant Functional Groups Mediated the Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance and Mowing on the Community Stability of Alpine Meadow Plants

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The response mechanisms of plant community composition, functional group biomass, vegetation‐soil properties, and community stability to plateau pika and mowing disturbance intensity exhibited distinct differences. Gramineae and Sedge aboveground biomass and soil nutrient content demonstrated more pronounced responses to both disturbances and their ...

Shrub Encroachment Rewires Microbial Networks to Suppress Soil Organic Carbon Mineralization in Subalpine Meadows

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Shrub encroachment in subalpine meadows reduces soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization rates and its temperature sensitivity (Q10), particularly in surface soil. This shift is driven by soil acidification, increased stable carbon content, and altered microbial network interactions.

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6010-6023, July 2026.
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

Thyme Essential Oil and Hyaluronic Acid as Natural Disinfectant Alternatives for Broiler Breeder Fertile Eggs: Effects on Eggshell Microbial Load, Embryonic Viability and Hatchability

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Natural eggshell sanitation using thyme essential oil reduced microbial contamination and lipid peroxidation while improving embryo viability and hatchability in stored broiler breeder fertile eggs. These findings support thyme essential oil as a promising residue‐free alternative for hatchery egg sanitation.
